Am I My Brother's Keeper?


"Am I my brother's keeper?
A question hurled at the sky
And the sky answered,
"I accuse
You Jews of America!"
Is it any less a Cain
Who stands aside
While his brother
Struggles for life?"
Erasing the aggression of 1948 and 1967
By Israel's total and absolute control.
Against the
"Annihilation" - Haykal.
"Eradication" - Nasser
"Kill Jews wherever you find them
With your hands, with your nails and teeth"-
Hussein of Jordan."
Is it any less a Cain,
Oh Jews of America!
Sitting behind your plastic wheels?
Your cable television?

Your microwave?
Your mahogany desk -
Writing out checks
For all kinds of causes
And canceling reservations?
Israel is out of bounds
Because Sadat is threatening.
Keeper? Brother? Jew?
And they say that

Nero fiddled while Rome burned!
